As Americans begin to let the dust settle after the inauguration, the president’s wife, Melania Trump continues to be in the center of attention, this time with a body double conspiracy that caused a stir among the public.

The inauguration was attended by high-level government officials, politicians, and various celebrities, but it was Melania who stole the show with her outfit.
The First Lady opted for a custom double-breasted navy coat by Adam Lippes that she paired with a matching boater hat by Eric Javits, designed especially for the occasion.

Her bold outfit made many question if she was trying to send a message -that she’s not someone you can mess with- on the historic day when her husband sworn in as a president for the second time.

“Makes her look hard. But maybe that’s what she wants to look like today, all business. Don’t mess with me kind of thing,” one person commented.

While some praised Melania Trump for her fashion statement and others mocked her choice of clothes, there were those who claimed that she wore what she did because she has a body double.
Those who believe in this conspiracy theory claim that the Slovenian-born former model left Trump a few years ago, and he found a body double to accompany him at significant events.

“That Bolero hat Melania is wearing won’t do much to dispel the rumors that she has a body double#TrumpInauguration2025,” one person wrote on X.

“Interesting outfit today. That hat is so low on her brow, you cannot see her face clearly. I honestly feel like that’s a body double and not the real Melania. Wouldn’t surprise me if Trump knew of threats to assassinate him and decided not to put her in harms way,” another wrote.

Some were suspicious because the weather in Washington didn’t request for hats to be worn on Trump’s inauguration day. “the melania body double only person wearing a hat in DC today,” they wrote.

As always, there were those who discussed the stupidity behind this conspiracy theory.

“Bologna! There’s no Melania body double! Why would she miss all the fun??” someone commented.
